PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe try thinking of it in terms of English first. Like she did that, we did that, you did that.

estar is the equivalent of was

tener is the equivalent of had

Based on that, it should be fairly easy to brainstorm a few ideas

ex. She was funny. He had a party. Etc.
